After Dragonball series of course, I'm talking japanese version, not that Funimation toned down kiddy shit, I'm talking Gohan dripping blood everywhere fighting Cell, and Goku curiously grabbing Grandpa Gohan in the nuts as he writhes in pain, man those were good times, theres too many crap cartoons that take stuff from eachother these days. They insult the intelligence of the viewer by too much.
Dragonball has been out for quite a long while, though. I'm talking toons from the past decade or so.
And yes, the Japanese culture has what westerners consider to be a very warped sense of humor. Although a little boy noticing a little girl has "nothing there" and finding that odd is a universal joke.
I once saw this picture of a naked boy and girl standing side-by-side (seeing them from the back) and the boy says something like: "No, I'm not letting you touch mine, since you broke yours off."
